               14th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques

                                  Bonas, France
                                15-18 September 1999

                  Sponsored by IFIP WG1.3 (Foundations of System Specification)
                      and by the LSR-IMAG laboratory, Grenoble, France

Aims and Scope

The algebraic approach to system specification and development, born as a
formal method for abstract data types, encompasses today the formal design of
integrated hardware and software systems, new specification frameworks and
programming paradigms (such as object-oriented, logic and higher-order
functional programming) and a wide range of application areas (including
information systems, concurrent and distributed systems).

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

     algebraic specifications
     other approaches to formal specification
     specification languages and methods
     term rewriting and proof systems
     specification development systems (concepts, tools, etc.)

The workshop will provide an opportunity to meet colleagues, to present recent
and ongoing work and to discuss new ideas and future trends.


Pre-Registration

WADT'99 will be held at the attractive Chateau de Bonas, near Toulouse, the
week before FM'99 (World Congress on Formal Methods) takes place in Toulouse.
The Chateau is a very attractive location, with modern conference facilities
(including a swimming pool!). The number of places available at the Chateau is
limited. All those who intend to participate in WADT'99 are asked to
pre-register by completing the pre-registration form without delay, and in any
case before:

             ****   10th September 1998 (THIS year!) ****

Pre-registered participants are guaranteed a place at the Chateau, and will
later be sent further details concerning final registration for WADT'99.
A high number of pre-registered participants should enable WADT'99 to obtain
particularly-favourable room rates at the Chateau.
